This really looks like a Gesneriad. Henckelia, Codonoboea, Didymocarpus...?

Definitely a Bromeliad of some kind. It's an inflorescence, so there are numerous small flowers held inside the cup at the top, which may or may not have opened (difficult to see). I'm not very good at Brom genera, but its certainly cultivated or escaped from cultivation as there are no native Bromeliaceae in Hawaii.

Wonderful photos Brian! Did you have to stake out the flowers for long to catch this or did you get lucky?
